God is still speaking today. In this address, we look into how god speaks to us and discover how He reveals Himself through His Word, by His Spirit, and in the person of His Son Jesus Christ — guiding, correcting, and encouraging all who listen with open hearts.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Hebrews 1:1-4 “1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.”
Acts 9:10-20 “10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.11 And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,
12 and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.15 And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:16 for *I* will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.
17 And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;19 and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.20 And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that *he* is the Son of God.”
Revelation 1:12-18 “12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.”
